Hyundai Tucson Block Heater Guide
2005–2026
Find the part for your engine
Check the engine size on your vehicle documents or under-hood label. Choose it explicitly even when only one option appears.
Already have a factory heater? A missing power cord may be all you need. Match the connector before ordering.

What the manufacturer sources establish
Sources checked . Only engine rows with an individual application review have reviewed fitment; other rows remain unconfirmed.
For 2025 Tucson, Hyundai’s July 2025 chart lists premium element 000AM410803 for N-Line, Ultimate HEV and Ultimate PHEV, and 000AM410804 for Preferred, Trend and XRT. Cord set 000AM463913 is listed separately for those trims. Confirm the current dealer application by VIN; this does not establish earlier or 2026 fitment.

Factory availability
Confirm equipment using the VIN, original build record or accessory invoice. Model name and Canadian registration do not establish that a heater is installed.
Heater type and fitment limits
Kit and power cord depend on model year and powertrain
Typical wattage: Read the installed heater label; wattage varies by kit
Cord location
Routing depends on the installed kit. Follow its installation instructions or have the installer identify the cord; a grille-side cable alone does not identify the heater.
Hyundai Tucson engines & block heater part numbers
Engine list built from Natural Resources Canada model-year data. Part numbers are catalog candidates unless a source review is shown for that application. Confirm the exact engine code, model year and installation port before ordering; an Amazon listing match does not confirm vehicle fitment.

Reading the numbers: Zerostart 31/35- is the heater kit, 36- the detachable cordset ("lit" glows when the outlet is live). Kat's 11xxx is an element, 28xxx a cordset, 24xxx a pad. Location codes are the manufacturer's (LF = left front of block).

Calculate the cost of your installed heater
Use the wattage printed on your heater and your electricity rate. A 400 W example uses 0.8 kWh over two hours; this is not a verified wattage or fuel-saving estimate for every Tucson.

Three checks before spending money
1. Check for a cord
Routing depends on the installed kit. Follow its installation instructions or have the installer identify the cord; a grille-side cable alone does not identify the heater.
2. Match the engine
Confirm displacement, fuel and model year against the table. OEM accessory numbers can vary by VIN and market.
3. Check recalls
Search the VIN in the Transport Canada database before using an unfamiliar factory heater or cord.
No exact-fit listing? Use the three-question heater selector for a safe fallback.
Where to look for the Hyundai Tucson block heater cord
Routing depends on the installed kit. Follow its installation instructions or have the installer identify the cord; a grille-side cable alone does not identify the heater. Use a flashlight from above and through the lower grille, then check behind the bumper cover without pulling on an unidentified wire. A factory cord may be capped and clipped or zip-tied out of sight.
Found damage? Use the cord identifier before choosing between a plug-end repair and a complete cordset.
Surface heaters: check mounting compatibility
A surface heater needs a compatible mounting material, enough clearance and a location approved by its manufacturer. These products are alternatives to investigate, not confirmed applications for every engine on this page.

First: check whether you already have one
Check the build record or accessory invoice and identify any installed heater before buying parts. If a cord is present, test it — a dead element and a dead cord look identical from the outside.
If you need one installed
Ask for a quote that identifies the exact kit, included cord and labour for your engine. See our installation guide for questions to ask before booking.
